the artwork of some of these titles look promising, but lately, and i can't put my finger on why, i don't get really excited for new games anymore, feels a bit like i've 'seen everything there is to be seen'

Thanks for pointing that out TimmiT, appreciated! Though Midora did not reach the stretch goal for the Vita, the dev is working on releasing it on the Vita and PS4 AFAIK a few months after the initial release.

Thanks man :) This was my main purpose in making this thread, to get the less noticeable games out there for you guys.

You are *most* welcome Sono, happy to have helped a fellow gamer :)

Honestly? Both consoles are underrated and have plenty of gems to play. Maybe you can hold out a while longer for a Wii U price cut but I hope you enjoy both :)

Lots of interesting games there. My Vita will be getting a lot of use.

Ah! No wonder it is free to play ^^ My Vita will be getting the same attention too ;D

Now your list looks really silly.

It's hilarious and sad as I know a lot of gamers who think that way :P But hey now, there's a Broken Sword game up there bro :P

Great lineup indeed man! I feel for the physical-copy loving gamers, I am one myself :[ But at the same time I got used to the downloadable-only games, better than nothing :]

Well, the issue is: Both games will sell like shit in the west. SCE knows that. We know that.
So normally, both games wouldn't see a western release.
SCE thought: Well atleast bring it to the west in digital form = not much money wasted and people in the west can play it.
Some "people" in the west = Ugh, Sony don't care. Vita dead! Boycott! Physical Copy!!!!! Blahblah
So SCE should't even bring these games to the west anymore. This way, we wouldn't hear crap like the stuff I've metioned above (only the standard/ordinary shit we always hear, from certain people).
This will be a lesson for them, when their next "niche" game in japan releases.
"Are we going to see a western release for this game?" SCE: "Nope"

my post wasnt a complaint about there being so many japanese games, it was the opposite, i'm a j rpg gamer. My post was a sly swing at people in other threads suggesting that japanese games dont sell in the west yet on vita they keep coming, so they must be selling.

* Cross Buy! — Do you want the awesome portable-ness of Vita? Or do you want the epic big screen experience of PS4/PS3? Don’t worry, you won’t have to make that choice because we’ll just give it all to you!

* Cross Save! -- Going out? Play on the Vita, and when you get home, your save will be brought over to your PS4/PS3 via cloud magic!

* 101% content! — Every single feature in the PC version, including all of the content patches, has been faithfully brought over to the PlayStation versions.

* PS Vita control scheme bliss! — When we originally made Rogue Legacy, we made it with the PS Vita buttons in mind.

I'll be grabbing a handful of those but it's still a bit of a bummer to look through that list. It's a great platform for people who love Japanese games and indies, but I couldn't recommend the system to most of my gamer friends who have more "standard" western-retail tastes.

Most of my Vita use lately has been for playing cross-buy indie titles when I'm away from my ps4. Looking forward to some Vita-only titles like Danganronpa.

edit: Rogue Legacy gets a platinum? They need to just let everything that wants to have a platinum have one, there are no discernible guidelines to what they allow anymore.

Well done. I thought nothing would be of interest for me, but I see at least 15 titles that I want to buy. Wallet won't be happy, though...

Thank you very much! Glad that you found some more games for yourself!

You are most welcome Azuardo, happy to help a fellow gamer out.

And only big budget and exclusive? That's your criteria for a game to be one that matters?

Knowing him, he was joking :P

Thanks for your kind words friend :) Likewise!

That Hyper Lift Drifter game looks nuts.

All the games you mentioned are among my most anticipated, good taste Grisby :)

Hope you'll love it as much as many of us do!

You are most welcome cammy84! Frozen Synapse looks awesome indeed.

I think you summed it up well ;D Not 100% sure though.

some of these look like 8/16-bit throwbacks, which is a good thing

I can understand; at times we gamers get a point where we want to play things that look different at least. I hope you get to enjoy many upcoming games nevertheless!

Good list, but the indies or japanese PS Vita games that won't see the light of day out West brings that list down significantly. I love the Vita too and been buying mostly physical games. Its a great little machine for sure.
